1.1 - 27 May 2017* Much easier installation.- Support for SMF 1.1.X+ Support for PHP 7.X* New sound method for better compatibility.! Minor tidy up!+ Added "everywhere" as a key string to show the shoutbox across the entire forum!

1.0.3 - 30 June 2011! Fixed Moderation actions in pages different than 1. (Thanks to KeeKee for the fix)! Auto focus on page load.! Users could be logged while using the shoutbox.! Shouts with ' couldn't be modified. (Thanks to Akyhne for the fix)

Well i did all i should do , moved the files(.js and .gif , .php) to my custom themes directories according to themes/default. I even went to admin-->shoutbox-->"Sites where shoutBox will be printed" and put only forum there.

The shoutbox isnt showing somewhere..what should i do ?

(its attached, this one is the one of the default index.template.php)

P.S On the initial install it didnt install properly on the index.template.php file of the default theme but i didnt pay attention cause none of us is using te default theme , does it matter?

Not quite sure I understand all the options you've provided, but wish to know if I could use it as follows:

For Admins and Admin-selected groups only, as a way to communicate in real time during Maintenance Mode (1), or during certain times where relying upon PMs is far too slow. We do NOT want it visible or available to the rest of the membership.

Will this work in that way?

Grazie

(1) We have a manual fix that allows hardcoded groups besides the Admins to log on during Maintenance Mode, though I would really like to see that feature as a proper mod...?

template_HP_shoutBoxMain(); where do you want the shoutbox to be showed, so just see carefully the file and put that string in the right place, also you can add an iframe an put in there the action for the shoutbox
